Integrating the Study of Voice and Allyship in Organizations

The purpose of this symposium is to connect two previously disconnected literatures— voice and allyship. Allyship while it encompasses an array of behaviors, includes speaking up with the purpose of ending oppression faced by disadvantaged people and voice, when intended to support or advocate for minority groups, fits the definition of allyship. Yet, voice scholars have only recently acknowledged voice from an allyship lens and the allyship literature has yet to directly acknowledge voice as a form of allyship. Therefore, in this symposium, our goal is to illuminate the connection between these two literatures by examining the antecedents and consequences of voice as allyship. Our hope is to build on each respective body of work and create synergy that enhances and benefits our understanding of both voice and allyship.
